HOSE PURCHAsED.-Thc directors of the
Guardian Hose Company ordered Of the
Fabric Fire H,se Company through NJ D..
Albaugh who acted rs the manufacturers
agent, 800 feet of cotton jacket rubber hose
one day last week. Along with this will
come two play pipes and AN assortment of
of nozzles ;also spanncrs etc. This is in re-
ality but trial order and fthe hose is all
that it is represented and warranted to bean
additional amount will probably be ordered
within a few months.
The hose is promised to arrive within
two weeks of the date Of the order.
Mr.. McMurray started his canning factory
here nearly twenty years ago. lie has IN
creased his business steadily, until now he
packs between three and four million cans
of corn IN single season, and employs
nearly twelve hundred people.
More wheels of fortune and other gamb-
ling and atch-pcnny devices of almost every
conceivable kind are to be seen on the fair
ground this year than probably ever before.
DR.. T. f. II. Miller. of Lcwistown, was.
badly injured at the fair grounds on Wed.
ncslay by being struck in the breast by the
tongue of large wagon which he did not
SEE approaching.
Several visitors to the fair on Wednesday
seem to have come in too close proximity to
plckpockc,s. One young man from Poplar
Springs was relieved of Sl4. and an elderly
man from Gaithcrsburg of about $3j.
Ex-policcman Marshal F. Harding has
been indicted by the Grand Jury for man
slaughter, for killing Joshua Herbert. His
case will he called for trial next week. Cap.
tain James McSherry and John G. Mottcr
have been retained to defend him.
The Frederick county society should start
i'll at once and buy more ground- and make
first class mile track. We would then have
the greatest fair in the Union. We have not
yet half enough ground. This was evident
from the crowds here ON each day of the
tair.-Citizen.

were our own people and our neighbors
as they swelled the ranks of this patriotic
procession, which showed almost military
discipline as it filed into the park and re-
turned thence to the hotel, where Marshal
Field said: "Fellon Citizens: The exer-
cises of the day will take place at the
grand stand near Prospect hill. You will
all please fall into line and proceed with
us to hear the orator of the day"
The procession then resumed its march
and soon reached the celebration grounds,
where a spacious arbor, decorated with
the stars and stripes, had been erected.
From these grounds at the foot Of the hill
the view was superb. To the north lay
the young city with its new houses, while
to the west could be seen Broadwater bay,
beyond which, far away, the snow-capped
PEAKS of the Rocky mountains gllstened
in the sun.
The chaplain, Rev. John Reid, at the call
of the president, then stepped forward and
holding up bible in his right hand said:
"Eello,c Citizens: With this Word, from
whence derive mine authority-the grand
rock upon which our glorious constitution
rests-in mine hands, | beseech you to ac
company me, on this the glorious day of
our celebration, unto the throne OF the
Heavenly Grace, with humble spirits
and contrite hearts. May the solemnity of
these few moments in the Divine presence
deepen our JOY and increase our pleasure,
and also deter us from doing anything that
would mar the brightness of the glorious
day.
Mr.. Reid then offered an appropriate
prayer, in course of which he said: "Ne
would thank thee, Author of Liberty, for
the enlightenment and liberty that prevail
through this great nation, and for the eX-
alted position with which Thou hast call
ed it ameng the nations upon earth; for
the peace, prosperity and happiness that
Thou hast bestowed upon us. Hear us, 0
Lord, at this time, while we entreat Thy
most gracious blessing upon our president
and his lady. and may the light of the
Divine favor ever shine upon the presi-
dental chair. We would pray that our
senators may be endowed with wisdom, so
that they conduct the affairs of this great
nation in righteousness. Do thou help US,
o Lord, we humbly beseech Thee, so
that we may more and more esteem the
paths of righteousness and truth, until the
star spangled banner shall be honored and
loved DER all the earth as the emblem of
perfect liberty, and now, 0 Lord, grant,
We pray Thee, that all gathered here to-
day may assemble and join in that grandest
of all celebrations, when the millions from
all the lands of the earth, with glad lubi-
lations, shall celebrate their eternal deliv-
erance from the bondage of sin, sorrow
and DEATH"

THE GRAFTON.

The following is the text of MIR. Tavlor's
address:
F,e1low Citizens: The never-ceasing and
ponderous wheel of time has again revol-
we'd, another circuit has been completed,
and to-day the inlex marks the one
hundred and eleventh year of American
independence, the anniversary of which
we. with our honored guests here assem-
bIed, are SO justified in celebrating on this
occasion. Here in our new, our chosen
home; here in the far west, even under
the shadows of the towering mountains
and surrounded by unbounded plains
which less than score of years ago were
peopled with savage tribes, but where now
civilization is firmly enthroned; here in
this beautiful spot on the banks of the
mighty Missouri, which, with swollen tide,
rushes madly past on its lorg course of so
many miles to join the sea, younger
and free born American citizens, fully con
scious of that freedom We now enjoy, feel
it peculiarly fitting and appropriate that
we should meet and pass the day in accord
ance with time honored and popular
custom. Even nature has assumed her
loyliest robes, and rejoices. seemingly, in
commemoration of this event. Then why
should not we? And prompted and in
spired by the loyalty which exists in
the breast of every true born American
citizen, we renew our obligations of
fealty and give an outward expression to

FiREMEN'S BALL.
FIREWORKS AND THE BALL.

In the evening there was grand dis
play of fireworks in the park, after which
people prepared for the bali. The spacious
ballroom of the Park hotel was decorated
with bunting, and at the end of the room
the stars and stripes were grouped with
the banner of the Pioneer Hook s. Ladder
Company. When the ball opened, about
10 o'clock, the assemblage OF ladies and
gentlemen was large and the scene was
brilliant as they moved through the may
figures of the lanciers or the more anima-
ted circuit of the waltz. There were TWEEN
ty-four dances on the programme and
an interval for supper. The Fort Shaw
band rendered charming music which
delighted everyone. During the night
Will Nichols gave the moments he could
spare from the long list of engagements
on his card to playing the violin, in which
he scored as great success as when he
plays on the guitar

Farm Grass in Kansas.

Including millet and Hungarian there
were in Kansas this year 3,730,150 acres
of land devoted to the raising of hay. The
yield per acre was 1.61 tons, or total
product of 6,O02,576 tons. None of the
tame grasses have as yet attained large
area in this state, the most extensively
grown being timothy, which has an area
of 95,s44 acres. The great bulk of the
grass lands mentioned above is the prairie,
protected by fence. The eastern third of
the state probably contains four-fifths of
the tame grass area. The question of the
growing of tame grasses in Kansas is re-
ceiving much attention from farmers, it
becoming of vast importance as people in
crease the number of their farm animals.
The question, no doubt, will be satisfac-
torily solved within few years, and the
tame-gra area will increase to its just
proportion.

THE DAY OF FREEDOM.

BRIGHT and clear dawned the Fourth Of
July. The warm sun and eloudless sky
gave promise of splendid day. People
began to arrive early from the country in
vehicles of all kinds. In many cases the
horses were tastefully decorated with the
national colors. Horsemen also came
pouring in from the country, displaying
as they rode through the streets that
equestrian skill for which Montana riders
age so celebrated. By 8 O'Clock the streets
wexa well crowded. and soon after the
people wended their way to the park,
where the base ball match was in pro-
,gress. They followed the game with in
ferest and seemed greatly pleased with
ghe lively movements of the contending
nines.
THE PROCESSION.
Chief Marshal Field arrived carly from
his country home and began preparations
for the parade. He rode Il fine horse and
wore a hat on which were bands OF red
white and blue. After music by the band in
front of the hotel, he proceeded with them
the truck-house of the firemen, who were
.asl in full uniform. The procession
aonRed as if by magic, and soon people
ssaniG see from the hotel steps the band
in their handsome blue and white uni
forms. the fremen in their scarlet shirts
the hook and ladder truck decorated with
bunting, and tbs general public following
some on horseback and others in carriages
or wagons. This was a aoble, inspiring
spectacle and told at glance bow deeply
moved by common, patriotic purpose
